Lacquering
Lacquers are applied to protect and enhance decorative coatings (such as copper plating of hollowware) or to supplement corrosion protection systems such as chromating. They also reduce friction, and enable to be evenly or readily distributed without surface damage. They can be applied by dipping in a proprietary water-based solution or by electropainting.
Topcoatings are applied immediately after chromate or trivalent chromium conversion coatings, by dipping in an appropriate proprietary medium or by electropainting (electrophoretic painting).
